This problem appears due to hidden registry entries which do not wipe off even after completely uninstalling the package. No registry cleaning tool can repair or removes these entries from the system therefore these need to be manually removed to correct this problem. Anyway before proceeding for manual operation, please clean the registry by using any appropriate tool and make a backup of your registry. There are possibly two solutions to correct this problem on a Win 2k machine, I have not yet tried it for Win XP; 1. Use Registry Monitoring Tool to watch "Setup.exe" accessing the registry before running into crash. Deleting all of these entries one by one will enable setup.exe to run without crashing. 2. Use windows Regedit .exe, Open the File Setup.ini on disk one, in Notepad and take note of the section [Parts], these are 64 msi files. Now browse through HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > Software > Classes > Installer > Products, Here you can see several Keys (each 32 chracter wide alpha numerical string) and find all of the msi files in these keys (in Product Name Field) one by one, if they are found, delete the complete key. Please note that deleting irrelevant key can cause a serious problem in other software. Just a few of these keys actually are required to be deleted to get rid of this problem. I would recommend to use any suitable registry monitor tool instead of manually editing the keys. Cheers !

Hi Guys, This seems a piracy issue, otherwise Labview 8 does not seem to behave like this.
